Although I'm sure your penis gophers between your legs often... calling it a snake is unnecessary.

    Yeah this, if I'm on a roll I'll just shoot the wife a text and tell her I'll be a little later than usual, getting a lot done at the moment. She's always cool with it. More time for her to watch her Bravo shows

    The only time I intentionally stay late regardless of how much I'm getting done is when the founding partner is there, about once or twice a week. When I first started, the other associate told me it's good to stick around when he's there for some face time. He's a really nice guy, but based on tha convo early on I'm not trying to unnecessarily test the goodwill I've built up with him.

    I'm with you on the 8-9 am thing. That's part of the reason I actually try to get to work early, because I know I'm going to have an unproductive first hour starting my day. It's nice to get to the office, sort of ease into the day with a coffee and breakfast while scrolling through Ants and otherwise catching up. Unless I'm super busy I'm almost never doing shit for like 45 min when I first get to work

    And in regards to leaving on time, I'm basically on call 24/7 so I leave at my scheduled time almost every day. I really only stay late if there's a system down or like last week, working on patching due to Ransomware threats.

    Other examples are slipping my mind at the moment, and it's definitely not anything new in the advertising/marketing industry, but it seems like it's happening a lot. I can recall my wife wanting this hair straightener about a year ago, the fucking thing was like $150 but she saw it on some beauty/glamour page that popped up in her Facebook and was convinced it was much better than the one she had. I love her very much, but I quickly shot her down on that one
    Agree.

    Another example is Canada Goose parkas.

    Seconded.

    Since defcon knows everything about everything and has "anecdotes" for every single good damn situation ever; I find it extremely hard to believe he can't hold a job better then Burger King > Wendy's > Call Center > 7/11

    Ransomeware is such a great idea. I'd think you'd have to pick your target wisely though, or just do a mass attack and see what sticks to the wall.

    If I got that on my computer, I would just laugh at them. Go ahead, delete my stuff. Anything I give a shit about is backed up to multiple clouds and possibly even an external too (pics).

    Go ahead, publish my shit. What's the worst that you're gonna out me on, my Pornhub data? Pft. I'll publish my ten most watched Pornhub videos right now.



    I can see plenty of people on the other hand though, who don't back up their important shit and do have very private/legal/work stuff that they don't want published.

    My lawnmower starts on the first pull but runs real rough and low. After I let it sit for 15 minutes it's perfect. Super irritating.

    Super obvious but when was the last time you changed the oil on it?

    About three weeks ago at the beginning of the season.

    It did the same thing last summer too.

    my wife and i moved into our house almost 4 years ago. the prior owners left their push mower for us, since they were moving to a place they didnt need it. its old, and i have yet to service it (i do add oil as needed though), but it fires up on the first pull every time, even at the start of the season

    lately, it sucks at cutting grass though; probably the blade, i may get that sharpened. but really, i'm just waiting for the mower to die so i can justify getting a new one

    Mine's finicky in that if I stop it to do something and leave it for more than like 5 minutes, it won't start up again. Then I have to go find something else to do for like 20-30 minutes. But if I stop it and start it again within a couple minutes, it's okay. I also gave mine a complete tune-up beginning of this season; filter, blade, spark plug, oil.

    I spent my last mow fantasizing about putting it on Craigslist, selling it, and buying a new one with better propulsion.

    If you'd rather it just die, I totally get that but after changing the blade on mine, it's a world of difference. Definitely handles it a lot better if I go a few extra days without mowing, or if the grass is slightly damp. It's only about $15 and takes just a few minutes.

    I, and some of my neighbors, have been seeing king snakes around lately. Seems like any time you post a picture of a snake somewhere, everyone's a snake expert and wants to tell you what it is and why it's not scary.

    yeah i just keep putting off getting the blade looked at. i've been meaning to scour the craigslist section to see if i can get a good deal on a newer mower.

    That's what they do, usually a mass phishing campaign to get credentials. Then it's game over. They tend to ask for a lower amount of money because they don't know who or what they have yet. It's the fucking worst.

    Go ahead, publish my shit. What's the worst that you're gonna out me on, my Pornhub data? Pft. I'll publish my ten most watched Pornhub videos right now.



    I can see plenty of people on the other hand though, who don't back up their important shit and do have very private/legal/work stuff that they don't want published.
    As a fellow adult film aficionado, I am awaiting this information.

    New director sends me a spreadsheet to update....it has 12 tabs. Despite knowing this is a horrific spreadsheet setup, I go along. Today he sends it back with 4 new tabs to be updated.
